I often have an issue grabbing a particular vehicle because even if I click the icon, its suddenly denied and given to someone else. There are also players who main a certain vehicle type who use (what I've heard previously) macros(?) to ensure they always get it.
Sadly they still haven't added a queue system for vehicles to prevent one player hogging their favourite vehicle all game. In older games this was usually moderated by server rules/admins but in lieu of this, Dice Sweden has failed to implement an automated alternative. It doesn't help that there are far fewer vehicle slots available compared to older games despite significantly larger maps and player counts.
The vehicle count is terrible in 2042 especially trying to get in one.
This needs fixing with more vehicles on larger maps and a queue type system to stop those cheating macro idiots. Macros need to be banned.
@SithMetal71Naming and shaming, first you need to learn how game works. Getting vehicle faster has nothing to do with macros when its ping based. I don't use macros and get 95% of time helicopter.
EDIT: What i mean is, server is sending information that it's available. If i have smaller latency, i see it earlier, we are talking about milliseconds. Sometimes it doesn't even flash.
macro should not be a solution. if they made the vehicle spawn part like BF3 and BF4, everything would be fine.
@Man_iLoveFishing you don't use your macros but you are using your finger repeadedly. very efective solution.
@murdocklawlessWell, that's how I do, cause macro won't guarantee, it's only for lazy ppl. And practice is about getting vehicle if you want to be quick, especially in the beginning of the match.
I sent thousands of pings, tell your teories to them.
you're talking complete nonsense. there is no prioritizing or stealing of the vehicles. Whoever asks the server for it first gets it.
I honestly dont know why you have such a hard time getting them, I fly them a few times a day.
I too have difficulty getting vehicles ; I thought it might be 'Ultimate version' players being given priority over others ..??
@murdocklawless Countless times I cleary clicked a live vehicle, only for it to go to someone else a second later certainly makes it feel that way. Also, there was a period where people would spawn vehicles 5 seconds ahead of the countdown clock, again making it near impossible for you to get it again (but certain players will respawn it every single time).
no, nobody gets priority on vehicle respawns. Whoever sends a click to the server when the vehicle is available first gets it. Just like whoever sends a bullet from their gun to an enemy player first gets the kill. The server decides who did it first.

I 100% agree, however with 128 players this game has to remove as many assets as possible and I suspect that vehicle spawning was a necessary evil to have 128 players.

@murdocklawlessMaybe they have faster PC/storage than you and load in faster? I can regularly get a vehicle on my PC if I desired to do so, but I generally do support so I don't prioritize it.
I dont know what Anobix's issue is, but I went from Xbox to PC and didn't notice any difference in choosing vehicles between the 2 platforms. Like you I don't have issues getting one if I want it. I'd be willing to bet he's being impatient about it.
@ragnarok013 But weirdly, Portal Modes have more vehicle spawns. The BF3 maps can have two jets per team.

Portal maps are older so they're smaller with fewer assets so the asset budget is much more friendly than the 2042 map asset budget was at launch
The problem starts with how there are not enough vehicles for a 128 man team
